joeboy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I can't decide. If i had a time machine only for 1 day which date would i prefer? Jimmy played very well on saturday the 28th with the best ever No Quarter. The 27th was very fast paced and pobably the best dazed and confused ever.

Wolfman Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I will go with the 27th to hear D&C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeboy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Song Remains the Same and Rain Song were better on saturday the 28th. I also prefer Stairway to heaven ending on the 28th. But your right about Dazed and Confused tipping the scales. Also Whole Lotta Love better on the 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 We don't have bootleg audio of the first half of the 27th, but based on the existing audio from the 27th from the bootleg and official release, the 27th was a better vocal night and the 28th was a better "jam" night.

joeboy Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Jimmy only used the best of the run in New York although I question him not using the second guitar solo in Celebration Day on the 29th in the new release. The Song Remains the Same from the 28th must be better than the 27th but there is not proof. Also The Rain Song on the 28th in my opinion is played almost flawlessly. Is their a better one? Vocally Robert is better many times on the 28th than the 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael678 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 i'd rather see all 3 dates at Madison Square Garden. YEAH, THREE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I'm a big fan of the 28th. No love for the 29th, though? That "Thank You"...perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider77 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Of course, the 29th is the best night, especially because Thank you, Celebration day, The ocean and Stairway (Imo the best solo ever). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrocker Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I think the 28th was best mainly because of that "No Quarter". I don't listen to the 29th much. Even with The Song Remains The Same I never really gained appreciation for how Page assembled it until I found The Garden Tapes site. If I remember right, "Since I've Been Loving You" is the most Frankensteined track, jumping back and forth between the 29th and the 28th in the middle of verses and whatnot. Just using those three performances Page put together a pretty good live album and film soundtrack. And I much prefer the 1976 original album over the new one, mainly because the new one butchered "No Quarter" to make it match the film But I appreciate how Jimmy Page took those shows and was able to lash together a sort of quasi sequel to How The West Was Won for the news TSRTS release.

joeboy Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 "Since i've been loving you" in the original movie is mainly the 27th with alot of the 29th thrown in. This is a better combination than the new 28th version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) The 28th has the best Rain Song everJimmy the Rain song.jpeg That still you posted is not from Madison Square. That was shot at Shepperton Studios in 1974. I'm such a know-it-all when it comes to this stuff. But yeah, the 28th has an amazing Rain Song. Also in the new film SIBLY's a similar mix of the 27th and 29th. It's just cleaned up. And wow, just as I'm typing this I finished The Rain Song for the new MSG DVD. As for the 29th, SIBLY is great. The Celebration Day solo is much better than the one on the 28th, and Jimmy's OTHAFA solo takes you on a long and winding journey through his playing. I also can't believe that nobody's mentioned the funky bit of No Quarter on the original album from the 27th.

Sue Dounim Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Personally, the 29th is my favorite night overall. Whole Lotta Love is fantastic that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayley10 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I GOT AN IDEA!!! Take a time machine back to 1967 and see every band I like (Floyd, Yes, Crimso, Zep, Genesis) and return after LiveAid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Personally, the 29th is my favorite night overall. Whole Lotta Love is fantastic that night. Mike Quishie joining the band for the gong part is great. Luckily we have footage of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeboy Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 This "Since I've been loving you" in the extra's at the end of the new DVD is what i'm talking about. I hate this hyper jumping from one shot to the next crap. This version is the 28th and not as good as the original movie (27th and 29th).

ledzepfilm Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) The Led Zeppelin DVD version of SIBLY is a mix of all three nights, with the 28th contributing one section before the last verse. The TSRTS version of SIBLY is a mix of the 27th and 29th. The new version is quite similar but cleaned up.

Nutrocker Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The TSRTS version of SIBLY is a mix of the 27th and 29th. The new version is quite similar but cleaned up. I was amazed at the amount of editing Page did on SIBLY compared to the other TSRTS tracks...why so much editing? (I get the feeling it was due at least in part to what Zappa would undoubtedly call "Cocaine Decisions" but who knows ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsoncb420 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 27th. I'd bet it was the best, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeboy Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've just reviewed the 3 nights again and maybe the 27th still wins. The 27th: Rock and Roll, Dazed and Confused, Since I've Been Loving You guitar solo, Whole Lotta love, Heartbreaker, most of Stairway to Heaven, and Misty Mountain Hop. The 28th: TSRTS, The Rain Song, No Quarter, the end of "Stairway to Heaven", and Moby Dick (since only the 28th was used on the original album). The 29th: Black Dog, some of "Since I've been Loving You", "Celebration Day" guitar solo, and the first 2 minutes of "Stairway to Heaven" (best mellotron version) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 ^ Are you only reviewing the official tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeboy Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm only reviewing the ones available since the first night is lost up to half way through "The Rain Song". Since only Jimmy has the first part of the 27th I reason that when putting together the album he chose the best parts. Therefore if it's not the 28th or 29th then it has to be the 27th. The reason for this topic is to put together a puzzle of when Led Zeppelin peaked as a group which I believe was at MSG. Others believe it was on the 1973 European tour.
